Description:
M66 is large and bright (brightest of Leo group) but was not as nice
as M95-96. M65 was small and elongated. I had some problems viewing up
to 111X. 3628 was bright, but fainter then M65-66. Larger then the
others. Had some difficulty with this one. Low surface brightness? No
real detail in the three.
